Mexico City authorities have deployed more than 600 trash containers along the iconic Paseo de la Reforma, anticipating potential fan celebrations following the Mexican national team's World Cup match. The Secretariat of Works and Services (Sobse) stated the initiative is part of reinforced actions to ensure fans enjoy a safe and orderly celebration.
"From the Government of Mexico City, we are reinforcing actions so that fans can enjoy a safe day during the match between Mexico and Ecuador, and to maintain an orderly and clean celebration in the city's public spaces," the Sobse announced on social media. The goal is to keep the popular avenue, particularly around the Angel of Independence, clean and well-managed.

The operation involves over a thousand public servants from the Sobse, the Secretariat of Environment, and the Integral Waste Management Agency. Brigades will conduct sweeps to collect waste during and after the match. "Enjoying this great party also means taking care of and keeping clean the spaces we share," the Sobse added.
This effort comes as the Zรณcalo's Fan Fest reached full capacity before the match, prompting authorities to advise fans to consider alternative viewing locations. The deployment of resources aims to balance the enthusiasm of football celebrations with the maintenance of public order and cleanliness.
